Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Wonder if this is a nationwide thing or if DC is hit particularly hard since it's the heart of the evil empire.
Oh so sad.

Guess America should not have elected an orange fascist fuckwhit gameshow host to their highest office.
If the rest of the world thinks their immune to fascism they'll find out quickly they are not. Fascism doesn't come about by votes alone. Fascism is a defense response of capitalism when it is in decline. Those votes are manufactured by media, xenophobia, and a decline to the material conditions of the working class. I'm sure it won't be so as entertaining as American politics is. But it will be just as dangerous nonetheless.
As a Canadian, I couldn’t be happier.
Maybe we can annex some of these poor should to a country that cares.
Mostly.
What a surprise that people do not want to visit a country while it is in a speed run to the bottom. You never know when shit hits the fan with full force. You just know you do not want to be there when it happens.
Those cases where they put tourists into jail for no reason at all for several weeks were headline news here in Germany and I assume also in other parts of the world. That will harm your tourist industry.
I fucking live here but I’m not a doctor so nobody wants to take me. I’m exploring options from my Eastern European heritage now to try and apply for asylum in the same country that my grandfather fled almost 80 years ago.
If my grandfather were still alive to see me attempting to flee what he fought against as a 17 year old soldier, it would absolutely make him sick to his stomach.
I hope you manage to get out. I might be wrong, maybe the USA get their shit back together, but it sure does not seem likely from outside. I will tell you this, when my fellow countryman give fascism the majority (50% for the AfD in Germany) i will get the fuck out because as far as i am concerned at that point its already the enemies territory.
I feel so sorry for US Americans. I honestly do.
Yeah, but they could have stopped this by marking a piece of paper, so…
People will be saying the same type of things about Canada soon; how it was our fault for letting our military decline, how we bought so much American product, how we let their culture take us over, how we didn't cultivate a bigger place for ourselves in the world but were content to live complacent next to a volcano.
For the most part people don't want the consrant struggle. Just to vote when it's time, keep up with global events, maybe protest if it's a big enough issue. But we still need to focus on family and career, fun and rest, peace and quiet.
For Them, the cause is their job, their activities, their meaning. I don't think most of us realize how big the industry to manufacture consent is. When they have a bill prepared, before it even gets legislated they're already working on the next step, either how to redo it if it fails or how to build on it if it passes. They don't sleep, winning is their only purpose.
I just don't think we can afford to alienate anyone on our side. Telling someone there's nothing they can do to make something right generally just makes them think they have to look out for themselves.
Will write code for visa
Same boat man! Will design you a satellite constellation for a visa.
Got any friends who develop cube sats? We could do some real good work with I2P and satellite modems. We could link up with the kinetic launch people and set up a new opensource encrypted internet.
My coworkers on my current project are also supporting a cube sat mission that just launched. I'm not sure I follow what's really unique about a cube sat mission though?
I think the kinetic launch is a cool idea from a physics perspective, but from a systems perspective, it's going to be fucking difficult to build systems to withstand it.
Got nothing to offer
